A series of experimental investigations will be conducted regarding
the operational maturity of a new unconventional compact coaxial
transmitter technology. This technology uses a Marx voltage
multiplier circuit to generate high voltage pulses that are coupled
directly onto a dipole antenna. The initial experimental
characterization phase will be followed by an engineering development
effort that will require intermittent field validation testing.
The transmitter will be operated in the single shot mode although
it will occasionally be operated at pulses repetition frequencies
of up to 20 Hz for on the order of a few seconds. The transmitter
is intended for use as an expendable pod for the purposes of wideband
radar-type and materials sensing applications. The characteristics
of the emissions will be monitored by an array of sensitive
free-field sensors connected to a centralized data acquisition,
analysis, and archival system.
